winter projects A pillar replacement

[GOLDCYLON]

This fall/winter I plan on replacing my A pillar weatherstripping again. Did this two years ago but the OEM replacement looks worse now than the original I replaced. Last time I did a how to do this with pics that I will do again so Cliff can capture the photos.

What else are you all doing this fall/winter? Any mods? GC

planning on replacing carpet,door panels and moldings on the 93 quazar blue. Marc Haibec has a set of heads and a plenum he is porting this summer. He will replace the stock ones on my 95 this winter. Also planning on installing C-5 brakes on the 95 this winter.

Sounds like a lot of great projects.

I have a set of H4 Lamps (bought off CF advertised as Hella, but are the Autopal brand) So I need to install those.

I also will replace my A pillar WS, I have then new piece already from Keen Parts (Latex)

Might swap out the exhaust resonator to see if I can change the sound a bit.

I had a Web Electric DRL in the car, but I had it mounted where in a spot that got wet, so I got a replacement and might reinstall that too.



If I get motivated I will change the way my aftermarket sound system is in the cargo area and add the X-over to make all the speaker have their own channel off the amps. Along with this I might swap in the 8s in place of my 6.5 in the back.

I think that is it

What are you going to try? I have a Spare Corsa resonator if you just want to give it a try

I have ths mod too. I love it. I bet they would replace it for free if you ask. It is susposed to be mounted upside down. Mine is tucked in next to the nose

Im done in this mod area unless something bad happens lol

I have Corsa, I like the no drone, but not the raspy sound.. I want to try a LT4 resonator (which I have)

Yeah I got it replaced Free of Charge.. Wire end needs to be pointing down, I had it next to the headlight Module, but it was sideways.. I will reinstall it but want to get a crimper and Weatherpak connectors for it.

I might experiment with a turbo muffler on my Corsa pipes- maybe just paint them black to be like oem.

First I will probably renew my search for a standard targa lid in good condition since all I got with mine was the clear one.

I'm considering

a gear for the differential - 409 Viper gear
and new Nittos
get a laptop and Tunerpro w/ appropriate interfaces and get up to speed on tuning these beasts...(I love Marc's chip, but it is a curiosity thing and I have a spare chip to play with.;))
Weather stripping, maybe
new carpet on the doors and redoux the sill panel carpeting on the speakers (the "kit" didn't come with separate speaker covers - have to roll my own.)

If I get that done, that would be a lot (for me).

Paul,
What have you found for weatherstripping replacement?

Paul,
What have you found for weatherstripping replacement?


not Paul, BUT

I have tried, Lonestar Weatherstripping (found on eBay), don't use it.. it is too hard

I currently have Melrose T-Top (their targa replacement pieces are great) the A and B they get from somewhere, while better, still not OEM soft

The Keen Parts A pillar I have feels like OEM, but I have yet to install

for the hatch I but an aftermarket piece from eBay works great

For the Doors I have OEM GM stuff

Hope that helps

I want to buy an X pipe and get AM cats installed after I pass my emissions and inspection in the upcoming weeks. The OEM exhaust manifolds and air pump stuff will come back off for 2-3 years until the next testing unless I can sneak by. I have to get those headers back on.........

Also looking to get pillar dual gauge pod and with fuel pressure and A/F ratio gauges mounted.

Haven't decided on which one to try. The stuff Dave displayed at Bowling Green was very nice, and about 2/3 the $. (Let's ask Dave Johnson)

I'm buying that A pillar around the windshield from keen parts.... Seems as close to OEM and not paying the OEM price.
